Mysore/Mysuru: Writer Prof. K.S. Bhagawan has appealed to the authorities concerned to handover the old Deputy Commissioner’s Office building to the University of Mysore (UoM) in keeping with the wish of former Chief Minister late Kengal Hanumanthaiah.
Recalling his meeting with Hanumanthaiah on the invitation of the latter for dinner with him during his stay at Jaladarshini Guest House in city, Prof. Bhagawan said, “I had been there for dinner and went out for a walk along with Hanumanthaiah. On coming near DC Office, which was called as ‘Attara Kacheri’ during Princely era, Hanumanthaiah said this ‘Attara Kacheri’ is out of place here. This is University premises and it is improper to have a Revenue Office here. I had thought of handing it over to the University but lost CM’s chair by then.”
